About This Service
Joinery
Robert Hill & Company delivers precision joinery with practical, long-standing trade knowledge. From bespoke fitted furniture and bathroom joinery to replacement doors and staircases, work is hand-finished to match period and modern properties alike. Family-run since 1919, our joiners coordinate with plumbing, electrical and Gas Safe engineers to keep projects safe, efficient and fully insured.
Why Choose us for Joinery?
Established in 1919 and run through three generations of the Hill family, the team brings deep knowledge of Milngavie's stone villas, tenements and modern builds.
Our joinery works with plumbing, electrical and Gas Safe engineers on the same contract, reducing coordination delays and ensuring services integrate cleanly with timber work.
All projects are completed with public liability cover, clear site-risk checks and an emphasis on durable fixings, traditional joints and long-lasting finishes.
How It Works
1. Site survey & measured drawings
A joiner visits to measure, inspect timber conditions and record plaster/stone details. We produce measured drawings and discuss materials, finishes and mounting details.
2. Design & material selection
Choose hardwoods, engineered boards or moisture-resistant laminates and confirm joinery details such as mortice-and-tenon joints, moulding profiles and hardware.
3. Manufacture, fit & final checks
Bespoke pieces are hand-finished on site or in workshop, installed by our joiners with site adjustments, then checked for alignment, operation and finish before sign-off.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and process.
Timescales depend on scope and site access. Simple runs like fitted wardrobes or doors are quicker, while complex staircases or full renovation joinery require measured drawings and longer lead times for accurate manufacture and finish. We'll confirm a realistic timetable at the site survey.
Yes. We take profiles and samples, then reproduce mouldings and joinery to match existing timbers. Where original timber is reclaimed or discontinued we offer sympathetic alternatives and finish-matching to blend new work into the original fabric.
We regularly work in occupied properties and commercial premises. The team protects floors and fixtures, manages dust where possible and schedules noisy or disruptive phases to minimise disruption to occupants and trading hours.
We specify materials suited to the environment: hardwoods and veneered panels for visible furniture and engineered moisture-resistant MDF or laminated boards for carcasses in wet areas. All fixings, sealants and hardware are chosen to resist humidity and heavy use.
Yes. Work is completed with public liability cover and a focus on durable workmanship. We document installations and handover maintenance notes; specific guarantees depend on the product and manufacturer where applicable and are confirmed before work begins.
